Maneuvers:

Two Roll maneuvers are planned for October 17th. The first maneuver will be roll the S/C - 12.5496 degrees for data collection from2000/ 291 15:02:25 to 2000/291 15:08:55 with SMIR Itwk/Vdet set to 110/226. The second maneuver will roll the S/C -11.8642 degrees for data collection from 16:41:45 to 16:48:15 with SMIR Itwk/Vdet set to 79/110.

MODIS Anomalies:

Continued monitoring for formatter errors and loss of cooler margin.

Attached to this report is a spreadsheet listing the times, addresses, formatter temperature, satellite ground track, and space craft day/night position for each of the formatter events that have occurred since DOY 256.

General Instrument Comments:

MODIS is in Science Mode on the A-side with the SVD and NAD open, operating with the Formatter Resolution Flight Software Patches.

MODIS Telemetry Trends:

The Radiative Cooler intermediate stage temperature has slowly been increasing since approximately day 240. During this time the LWIR focal plane heater margin has been decreasing. The IOT is continuing to trend these telemetry mnemonics.

Non-MODIS Significant Events:

There have been indications that Solar Array Circuit #10 failed at approximately 200/268 15:07:20. Terra still has a power margin so this failure should not impact operations.
